MAY INVITE III
To Come to Arizona and
Help in Campaign Tor
the Constitution
PUN PROPOSED BY COBB
i
Great Commoner has Given His
Promise that He Would Help
the in Campaign
It was learned Tuesday that an
invitation will be sent if- it has not
been already to W J Bryan by the
Arizona Statehood League inviting
the noted Nebraskan to come to the
Territory and participate in the cam
paign for the ratification of the
constitution
The matter was first brought up
last Saturday after the formation
of the Statehood League by a num
ber of convention members A ma
jority of the men who are instru
mental in forming the League
were attending the aviation exhibi
Jbition at the fair grounds when the
matter of inviting Bryan to Ari
zona was first brought up Mr
Winsor of Yuma Mr Short of the
same county Mr Weinberger of
Gila Mr Cobb of Greenlee and
several others who were present ex
pressed themselves as greatly in
favor of the plan which was sug
gested by Cobb while Cunniff of
Yavapai was unqualifiedly opposed
to it
Bryan will get more people out
to listen to him and turn more
votes against the constitution than
any other man in America said
Mr Cunniff This remark was met
with a storm of objection on the
part of the Bryan supporters Mr
Cobb stated that during Bryans
last visit to Arizona the Commoner
had told him Cobb that he would
be pleased to come to Arizona and
support any constitution adopted by
the democratic party in the event
of Statehood in the next few years
President Hunt who was a mem
ber of the gathering did not ex
press an opinion but owing to the
fact that Mr Bryan is a red hot
favorite in Globe from where Mr
Hunt hails it is natural to suppose
that he can be lined up as a backer
rof the Cobb plan
WILL DRILL FOR OIL

i
As a result of the discovery of oil
on the land owned by Mack Free
man near Escala he has been made
a proposition by Tucson parties for
securing part of the land for the
purpose of beginning work at once
boring a well for oil
Mr Freeman Judge Col ton and
others interested with Mr Freeman
in the property will leave Friday
morning for Tucson to meet the
people who have made the offer and
perfect arrangements for boring
the well and making other tests of
the land
There seems to be no doubt in
the minds of experts that oil will
be discovered in paying quantities
in the new oil fields I

pie According to the
Thirteenth Census
ARIZONA HAS 204354
Has a Greater Population than
Three Other States in
the Union
In the United States and all its
possessions the stars and stripes pro
tect 101100000 souls This is the
official estimate of theUnited States
Bureau of the Census for the coun
try as enumeratedin the thirteenth
decennial census given out for pub
lication on December 10th It in
cludes the Philippines Samoa Guam
Hawaii Alaska and the Panama
canal zone
Within its border on the North
American continent exclusive of
Alaska the United States has a pop
ulation of 91972266 inhabitants
In the last ten years the States of
the Union had an increase in popu
lation of 11977691 which amounts
to21 per cent over the 1900 figures
Since the first census was taken
in rau tne country nas grown
twenty five times as large the pop
ulation then having been 3929214
slightly larger than the present pop
ulation of Texas j j s
The growth of the country was
greater than has been anticipated
by the expert statisticians who have
closely watched the progress of the
countrys population
In a statement explaining the in
crease of the population of the con
tinental United States to 91972266
Director- Durand attributed the
growth largely to greater new addi
tions through immigration
He finds a wider disparity in the
growth of the different States in the
past decade than fbr any other
The rangd is from a decrease of five
per cent to an increase of 120 per
cent in Washington
The States showing the lowest
increase falling below ten per cent
he said are Iowa Missouri Ken
tucky Indiana and Tennessee the
three northern New England States
and Maryland and Delaware
The States showing the next
highest increase between 10 and 20
per cent include Ohio Michigan
Wisconsin Illinois Minnesota Ne
braska Kansas Virginia North
Carolina South Carolina Georgia
Alabama and Mississippi
States which show an increase
from 20 to 30 per cent are for the
most part the greater manufactur
ing States including Massachusetts
Rhode Island Connecticut New
York Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia the only other States increas
ing between 20 and 30 per cent are
Arkansas and Texas
The States which show an in
crease exceeding 30 per cent are
with the exception of New Jersey
and Florida all in the west and
make up a belt comprising one third
of the area of the United States
South Dakota Colorado and Utah
had increases between 30 and 50
per cent while North Dakota Wy
oming Oregon Nevada California
New Mexico and Arizona increased
between 50 and 100 per cent and
Oklahoma Idaho and Washington
more than 100 per cent
The increase in the ten years
1900 to 1910 was greater than in
the previous decade in twenty
six of the forty nine States fifteen
of these being west of the Missis
sippi river
The increase in the last decade
was less than in the previous one in
tnirteen states six ot whicti are
east of the Mississippi river
The greatest change in growth
is found in the three Pacific coast
States and Nevada and New MexU
cb all of whjch grew faster in the
last ten yeard than in the one pre
ceding
The population of Arizona is 204
354 an increase since 1900 of 91423
or 662 per cnt
The fact that the increase for
the country as q whole was groater
frqmJOOGtQ 1910 than in the vxCr

the adtfed growth in tho middle
